Maybe I was off. I just found the interview, and re-read it. Funny thing is the first time I read it, he came off as sounding very arrogant, like he thought his tone and playing were better than anything anyone else had ever done, but having re-read it, I don't get that same feeling. He does a lot of audiophiole things with his rig - Telefunken NOS tubes, heavier wire gage.
Tim Commerford Audioslave bass tone
I remember reading an interview with bass player Tim Commerford. He spoke (bragged) a lot about how he has put a great deal of effort into developing his sound (building / modding effects pedals, maybe even winding his own pickups, I forget all). He was quite secretive about the details, and quite arrogant. I listened to an Audioslave CD on headphones at B&N, and found the music uninteresting, but couldn't hear the bass too well & still wonder whether his sound measures up to his claims. Since people here have the hearing and systems to tell, is there anything special about his sound?
